The New River is fed by various providers, including the Greenbrier, Bluestone, and Gauley Rivers. The river is also affected by several dams, including the Bluestone Dam and the Hawks Nest Dam. Seasonal trends show that flow is highest in the spring due to snowmelt and rainfall, while flow decreases in the summer months. The hydrology of the New River is particularly interesting due to its status as one of the oldest rivers in the world, with some estimates suggesting it is over 300 million years old.
